[QUOTE="TR4Owner, post: 1070631, member: 413702"] I have just increased the size of my sat dish from 80 to 110. I live in south France and use the SkyHD box with a paid for freeview card. Before upgrading to the 110 dish I was receiving all Sky channels and BBC but poorly, strength = 60%, quality 30%) and the dish was a poor quality one which moved under windy conditions. Upgraded to 110 cm and moved it to a less windy position - I get 100% strength and 90 % quality and can watch some sky channels (Sky News etc) with no problem and get the full EPG. But there are no normal channels (BBC, ITV etc). Lock indicator = OK Network ID = 0002 Transport stream = 07ea I have set the dish using normal compass/level and a meter. I have turned the skew. I tried changing the transponder frequency to no effect. - What is odd is that when I try to watch BBC the signal strength and quality goes to 0 - yet when I choose the Sky News channel the signal strength and quality goes back to 100/90%. Can someone advise please what I am doing wrong? I have been watching sky on the continent for 30 years and have never had such a good signal strength and quality yet I cannot get any normal channels. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
